Machon Chana Institution has been a powerful learning experience for me over summer 2017 in NYC. Well-structured, intense curriculum with great Rabbis, Rebbetzens, Madrichot and females from all around the world, exciting field trips and weekends away with Jewish families of different communities add great value to one's life perspective. Exploratory journey into my family roots I undertook was thoughtfully guided by Rebbetzen Labkowski and Rabbi Green, whose personal input largely contributed to major linage discoveries of my grand Shneersons' family heritage.
